In general all I really care about as far as original copies of software goes is games.... games... and well.. more games.... :-)
At least we aren't competing over titles. ;-)
Now here's the big question: is it just me, or are 8-bit games more fun? I remember playing memorable titles like Conan and Zork when I was a kid. I even remember playing side-scrollers like Commander Keen on my PC (in my teens). But it seems as though the moment the cheesy graphics were "improved", I lost all interest.
Has anyone else had this feeling that gameplay diminished (or, in a few cases, simply became far too complex) around the mid-1990s?

I generally tend to play GS specific games on my IIgs.... Zany Golf is one of my favorites... though I do play some 8-bit stuff on it.
I'm not really very picky.... I've got at least 23 different systems (consoles and computers) spanning from 1976 to now. I do actually find I play my 16-bit systems the most though. That and my NES and Atari 7800.. but when the NES is your biggest physical game collection (over 220 carts and counting) and you have a really cool little cart that takes MMC cards and allows you to load almost any downloaded 2600 or 7800 game on to the actual system(7800) that's a given those systems will see a fair ammount of play time.
